Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> Re: Shared server tuning
Servers are shared, but only service one SQL statement at a time.
Sessions queue up behind busy servers if some SQL statements are running too long
Been a long time since I've messed with MTS, and I don't recall how to detemermine this.
google for "queue mts shared server oracle" and you will find a number of hits with some SQL queries to examine share server performance views.
The problem could also be less than optimal SQL tying up the server and dispatcher.

Shared server tuning
I have a six-month-old Oracle 9.0.1.3 database that is using shared server
connections. Users are complaining about system slowness sporadically
throughout the day, but I don't see any CPU, i/o, or network-related
issues
with the server itself. I have run a few Statspack reports through
oraperf.com, and they all say that I can get a 90%+ gain by tuning MTS. In
addition, in the waits section, virtual circuit status is by far the event
with the most wait time.
I have checked the v$shared_server_monitor view, and nothing raises a flag
with me. SERVERS_HIGHWATER has never come close to approaching
MAX_SHARED_SERVERS. There are some servers started and terminated
throughout
the business day (3-4), but I don't think this would causes the symptoms I
am seeing.
Personally, I am tempted to switch to using dedicated connections. Our
Peoplesoft Financials and HR databases use this, so I doubt this
application
would have a problem with it.
Does anybody have any thoughts or ideas?
Thanks,
